            Bug ID: 122587
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: 99.9% data lost from copy paste doc-2-doc
           Product: Writer
           Version: AOO 3.4.1
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows, all
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P3
         Component: editing

I was copying the first two pages of a .rtf document that ended with an email
addy.  I copied from one .rtf document and pasted over something simalar in the
2nd .rtf document.  Everything looked great and I closed out both documents. 
On opening the pasted to document all but the first line was gone.  (I had done
this to 4 documents before I tried to read one of them.  Can you see the PANIC
in my face?  80+ hours and a whole lot of creativity down the tubes!)  (I was
able to retrieve old deleted files and recover most of my work.)  Note: Backup
should be turned ON and only optionally turned OFF by the user.

example:
- - - - - - - -
Line 1
line 2
line 3
[email protected]

followed by 40 pages of text.
- - - - - - - -

Copy Line 1 thru the blank line after the email address and then paste over a
very simalar document from Line 1 to the end of the blank line after the email
address.

Both docs look OK.  Save and close both.  Open the doc you copied to.  Only
Line 1 remains ... sort of, all of its formatting is gone.
